On March 26, 2014, UGI Utilities issued in a private placement $175 of 4.98% Senior Notes due March 26, 2044 (“4.98% Senior Notes”). The 4.98% Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated October 30, 2013, between UGI Utilities and certain note purchasers. The 4.98% Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equally with UGI Utilities’ existing outstanding senior debt. The net proceeds from the sale of the 4.98% Senior Notes were used to repay $175 of borrowings under UGI Utilities’ 364-day term loan credit agreement scheduled to expire in September 2014. The 4.98% Senior Notes include the usual and customary covenants for similar type notes including, among others, maintenance of existence, payment of taxes when due, compliance with laws and maintenance of insurance. The 4.98% Senior Notes also contain restrictive and financial covenants including a Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined therein, of 0.65 to 1.00.
